Verity Sense

Wrist sensors are vulnerable to cadence lock, where the watch thinks your running cadence is your heart rate (so instead of showing 125 it says your heart rate is 165 which is clearly wrong). I have a Coros Pace 3 and this was an extremely annoying problem for me. It didn't matter how tight the watc

First and foremost, you need to understand that calories are not counted by the heart rate monitor itself, but by the Polar algorithm. What you receive from the monitor is simply the heart rate reading. The most precise measurements come from a chest strap. The Verity Sense uses an optical sensor, w

Polar H9 Chest strap. I used to use verity sense or my apple watch, both are optical sensors but they're not great for tracking boxing or other HIIT workouts. They lag so much and misses a lot of heart rate spikes. Only problem with the chest strap is that it's pretty uncomfortable for me. But they'

I totally get this, I just get frustrated when people talk down to others, so I apologise if you feel I've been following you around but it is not fair to criticise and accuse people of wanting a "fashion accessory" when the information you're providing is based primarily on people's online complain

All of these are likely accurate enough for your needs. That being said though.... doing something like the Norwegian 4x4 workout which ha

There’s three basic options that meet his needs: A Polar watch, using the optical heart rate measurement in the watch itself. Main advantage is simplicity (no chest strap or other sensor needed). He would just have to press a couple of buttons to start and stop a workout. A Polar heart rate sensor u

Personally I use a Polar Verity Sense but they also do a cheaper version called the OH1. I believe Coros also do one. Optical heart rate sensors have a small lag in picking up changes to heart rate due to the way they work and they show an average over a short period of time rather than instantaneou

Quick Update on Device Compatibility: Why Raw PPG Data is the Key I’ve received several DMs asking if the platform works with Polar watches (like the Vantage V2, Pacer, or Grit X). I wanted to clarify this for everyone here: Currently, the system is specifically designed for standalone sensors like

hello, The verity sense is just a OHR sensor. It will only track your HR during an activity. If u want something to track your steps, sleep, ... u will need to buy one of polars watches. Think of the pacer, vantage or grit series. The OHR sensor u got is just simply a supporting device for more accu
